NOOSA Today asked residents visiting Wallace Park if they think the flying fox colony should be moved out?
“Yes, I think they should. There’s plenty of other areas for them to go – plus the smell and noise is really bad.”
Julie Maran, of Noosaville
“If there’s a nice way to move them – then I think do it. They stink.”
Amy Thompson, of Noosaville
“I really enjoy the sight of them and don’t have an issue with them. They’re a natural species that make up this wonderful region.”
Roger Mountford, a regular Noosa holiday maker
“They’ve been forced out of other areas (such as Cassia Avenue, Coolum). Their numbers will reduce over time once the melaleuca flowering ceases. The flying foxes are not aliens, they’re native species that pollinate our forests – they should be left alone.”
Bob Carey, of Noosaville
